Sage

Sage is the old, well-known herb. It has been known in India since about 1000 BC and has since been used in both food and for medicinal purposes. Sage has also been used for incense in religious rituals and other purposes of America's native people.

The essential oils which are then used in perfumes are extracted by distillation and the wild sage gives more oil than farmed. The scent is very herbaceous and reminds one of the rosemary.
